It is a reliable tool for handling support requests and basic IT service management. It helps teams stay organized and respond faster to issues. However, it may not be the best option for very advanced or highly customized setups. Pros What I like most about Freshservice is that it is easy to use and well organized. It helps manage IT tickets and requests in a clear way, so nothing gets lost. The interface is simple and easy to understand, even for new users. Cons What I like least is that some advanced features are only available in higher-priced plans. It can also feel a bit limited for very complex workflows or large companies. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) I switched from basic email support and a simple help desk tool like Zendesk, and also from tracking requests in spreadsheets.

Analyst Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good, but better options exist " September 1, 2026 4.0 Used with complex epic workflows and ticketing. Good for a large healthcare IT organization. I was onboarded to this from EasyVista Pros Strong ticket managing system- able to handle all ticketing related items in one intuitive location. Cons Less features than ServiceNow. Limited reporting features- unable to execute highly customized reports Alternatives considered [ServiceNow](https://www.capterra.com/p/254088/ServiceNow/) Reason for choosing Freshservice Cost, cheaper than the other alternatives Switched from [EV Service Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/124331/EasyVista/) Merger required switch to new ticketing system Review Source Jason F. Service Desk Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for a first bike, but you'll grow out of it." May 29, 2026 3.0 It's an excellent tool if you're looking for low maintenance/hassle with an ITIL-aligned ITSM tool. But the moment you want to become a power user and start customizing and evolving the tool to meet your specific needs, you either need to be prepared for disappointment or evaluate something more powerful. Pros The turnkey nature of Freshservice is highly desirable for teams and organizations that can't justify spending either a lot of time or payroll on a full/part-time developer. The low to no code environment allows for you to immediate spin up modules and begin processing incidents, requests, etc. The built-in analytics tools allow you to create customized dashboards and reporting for strategic planning on operational metrics. Cons As with any turnkey SaaS product its greatest strengths are also the product's greatest weakness. Want to take Fresh's framework and tweak it a bit to meet your needs? Nope. Do you want to customize components of a module entirely operating within the expected limitations of an ITIL product? Negative. Have a feature request? You can submit to the backlog but it might be years before a version of it becomes a reality. Review Source SK Swaroop K.

It provides a user-friendly interface that makes ticket management straightforward for both agents and end users. The automation and workflow capabilities have helped reduce manual tasks and improve response times, while the asset management features keep IT resources well organized. Customer support has been helpful whenever needed, and the platform offers good value for money with the features included. Overall, Freshservice has helped improve the efficiency of our IT service management processes. Pros Freshservice is easy to use, and the interface is clean and intuitive. The ticket management system helps keep support requests organized, while the automation and workflow features reduce manual effort and improve response times. The asset management module makes it easy to track IT assets in one place, and the reporting features help improve overall efficiency. Their customer support has been responsive whenever we've needed assistance, and overall the platform offers good value for money considering the features it provides. Cons Overall, it's a solid platform. Some advanced customization options can take a little time to understand, and a few reports require additional configuration to get the exact information needed. Other than that, it has worked well for our team's day-to-day IT service management. Switched from [ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/179501/ManageEngine-Service-Desk-Plus/) We switched from ManageEngine because we wanted a more modern and user-friendly IT service management platform. Freshservice offered a cleaner interface, better workflow automation, and an easier ticket management experience. It also simplified asset management and reporting, making it easier for our team to improve overall efficiency. Review Source DD Divyarajsinh D. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No more chasing customers on calls, ticket first, clarity always" August 3, 2026 5.0 This tool basically fixed our biggest communication problem. Earlier, "he said, she said" was a real issue, a customer would claim they approved something over a call that never actually happened, or say they sent details we never received. Now everything is documented from the start. If someone wants a bug fixed or a new requirement added, it has to go through a ticket, which means there's a clear trail, who asked for what, when, and what our response was. It's cut down miscommunication a lot and made my day-to-day work far less chaotic. Pros Before this tool, my day was a mess. I'd get bug reports, new requirements, and error reports through calls, emails, WhatsApp, whatever channel the customer felt like using that day. Half the time there was no proper approval on record, and when I'd try to follow up, the customer's number would be busy or they just wouldn't respond to email. So work would get stuck in limbo, not confirmed, not rejected, just floating. After we started using this tool, everything changed. Now the rule is simple: raise a ticket first, and we'll check and respond with everything clearly mentioned there. No more chasing people on calls. Everything the customer needs, approval, requirement, bug detail, goes into the ticket, and that becomes our single source of truth. Cons Getting some customers into the habit of raising a ticket instead of just calling took a little convincing at first, old habits die hard. Also, the generative AI suggestions are still a bit generic when the issue is technical; I usually end up rewriting the response myself for anything beyond a routine query. Review Source FS Fenny S. React JS Developer Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ticket first policy " August 1, 2026 5.0 Long-term use is really the test of whether a tool holds up, and this one has. What stands out most is how it ended the back and forth we used to have with customers over what was approved and what wasn't. Earlier someone could say they approved something on a call that never happened, or claim they sent an email we never got. Now it's all on the ticket, dated and documented. My day to day is calmer because of it, I know where every request stands without having to chase anyone down. Pros I've used this for a good while now, long enough to have seen it handle a lot. Before, my inbox and phone were basically chaos — bug reports, new requirements, error logs, all coming in through calls and emails, and customers would rarely give a proper approval. I'd try calling back and the line was busy, or an email would just sit unanswered for days. Once we moved everything to ticket-first, that whole problem disappeared. Now it's simple — raise a ticket, we check it, and everything gets mentioned clearly on record. I honestly don't miss the old way of working at all. Cons Took some of our older customers a while to get used to raising a ticket instead of just calling, that adjustment wasn't instant. I've also noticed the AI-based reply suggestions are still hit or miss for technical stuff, I end up rewriting most of it myself when the issue isn't a routine one. Review Source BM Bheru M. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Finally, an ITSM tool that doesn't slow engineers down" July 30, 2026 5.0 Before this, our internal request process was scattered across email and Slack, which meant things got lost or forgotten more than I'd like to admit. Since switching, I actually trust that a ticket I file will get tracked and followed up on, and I'm not stuck chasing status updates manually. It fits into a dev's day-to-day better than I expected, quick to file requests, quick to get notified when something needs my attention, and the knowledge base has cut down on the same repeat questions landing in my queue. Not perfect, but it's made the operational side of my job noticeably less annoying. Pros As an engineer, I'm not a fan of anything that slows down my actual work, and this doesn't. Ticket tracking is clean enough that I can log a request, access, environment reset, whatever, and get back to coding without babysitting it. The real-time alerts are the real win though. When something breaks in prod, I know within seconds, not after someone pings me on Slack asking why I haven't looked at it yet. Macros have also cut down a ton of repetitive typing for the requests that come in looking identical every week. Cons The generative AI features are still a bit rough for anything technical. I've tried using it to draft responses to more detailed engineering questions, and it tends to oversimplify or miss context, so I end up rewriting most of it anyway, fine for routine stuff, not something I'd trust blind. Task splitting across teams could also be a little more flexible; when a ticket touches both backend and frontend, assigning ownership clearly sometimes takes an extra step or two. Review Source SN Sagar N. Sr.Software Engineer Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Made our workflow actually feel like a workflow" July 30, 2026 5.0 We brought this on to replace a patchwork of spreadsheets and email chains, and it's genuinely made our process less chaotic. Setup was quick, the interface doesn't feel cluttered, and my team actually uses it consistently instead of falling back on old habits, which honestly is the real test. There's room to polish a few edges, but it's done what we needed it to do and then some. I'd recommend it to anyone tired of duct-taping their workflow together with five different tools. Pros Honestly, the thing that won me over was how fast I could get set up. I didn't need a huge onboarding call or a manual, I just started clicking around and it made sense. The workflow automation piece has saved my team a good chunk of time every week, especially on the repetitive stuff we used to do by hand. Customer support has also been solid whenever I've had a question; I got real answers from real people, not a canned script. Cons If I'm being picky, the mobile experience isn't quite as smooth as the desktop version. A couple of features feel like they were bolted on for phones rather than designed for them from the start. Also took me a bit of trial and error to figure out the more advanced filtering options, could use a couple more examples in the help docs. Review Source PB Pathik B. Sr. Front End Developer Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable and User-Friendly" July 29, 2026 5.0 We've been using Freshservice to manage our internal IT support, and it has worked well for our day-to-day operations. The ticketing system is straightforward, the interface is clean, and it gives us a better way to handle requests compared to using emails or spreadsheets. We've also had a good experience with their support team whenever we had questions. Overall, it's a dependable solution that has made our support process more efficient. Pros The best part for us has been how easy it is to keep track of support requests. Everything is in one place, so it's simple to assign tickets, follow updates, and close issues without confusion. It has helped our team stay organized even during busy days. Cons The initial setup took a little time because there are many options to configure. A few settings weren't immediately obvious, but after getting familiar with the platform, it became much easier to manage. Review Source HM Harshil M. Sr. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid ITIL service desk that drastically cut down our resolution times" August 13, 2026 5.0 We migrated to Freshservice to centralize our internal IT helpdesk and track corporate assets more effectively. It has completely streamlined our internal workflow—tickets don't fall through the cracks anymore thanks to the automated SLA reminders. Customer support has been responsive whenever we hit a snag during migration. It offers great value for the money, especially for mid-sized teams that need a powerful ITIL-aligned tool without the massive setup overhead of enterprise competitors. Pros The interface is incredibly clean and intuitive, which made onboarding our team a breeze compared to legacy platforms like Jira or ServiceNow. Setting up automation rules for ticket routing is straightforward and has saved our tier-1 support agents hours of manual dispatch work. The asset management module is also a huge plus, as it lets us link hardware directly to user tickets so we can track recurring device issues instantly. Cons The reporting tools and custom dashboard builders can feel a bit rigid when you need to pull highly specific, granular metrics for upper management. Also, while the standard integrations work well, deep customization of the client portal requires a bit of a learning curve with their custom scripting if you want to move beyond the basic templates. Review Source MI Marika I. Service Desk Lead Maritime Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My honest review for Fresh service " May 15, 2026 4.0 My overall experience with Freshservice has been very positive, although there are still areas that could be improved. One enhancement that would be very helpful is more flexible and user-friendly reporting, especially for tracking updated or worked-on tickets. For example, having an easier way to generate reports showing all tickets an agent has touched within a weekly or monthly period would greatly improve operational visibility and performance tracking. Currently, this option seems limited or not easily accessible within Analytics. Pros One of the features I really love in Freshservice is the execution scenarios that can be manually configured to help automate tasks and make ticket handling much faster and more efficient. I also appreciate the new AI capabilities, especially the AI-generated email responses, which help improve response time, consistency, and overall productivity for Service Desk operations. Cons One area I would like to see improved in Freshservice is the Knowledge Base functionality. It would be beneficial to have more category and classification options to better organize KB articles, especially for larger environments with multiple support groups and services. Additionally, adding more customization and formatting features would help make KB articles more visually appealing, engaging, and easier for end users to follow. Switched from [ServiceNow](https://www.capterra.com/p/254088/ServiceNow/) We transitioned from ServiceNow to Freshservice approximately four years ago as part of our effort to improve and modernize our IT Service Management operations. Since the transition, Freshservice has provided a more user-friendly and intuitive platform for both agents and end users, helping streamline ticket management, service requests, and overall support operations. The platform has also continued to evolve over the years, especially with the addition of AI-driven features and automation capabilities that help improve efficiency, response times, and user experience across the Service Desk. Review Source TJ Tomas J. Senior EUC Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Freshservice review" May 25, 2026 5.0 Overall? Great? Customer support is mostly responding quite quickly. From time to time was unclear expectation on my end when something will be fixed. Also there could be a bit more of face to face customer interactions. Pros Freshservice is extremely easy to use for L1/L2 IT helpdesk Agents. Quite good value for money too. Perfect system ergonomy while using the main (basic) setup (Incident, Change, Problem, Project, Task, CMDB...) Cons Quite often there are great ideas with poor implementation. Sometimes I am not sure if/how product team works with development. Sometimes more user testing would be needed.

They are easy to understand by Service Delivery Lead, useful when an existing workflow needs changing/update. Freshservice is easy to setup and fairly easy to use by Agents, requesters. The bundle service catalog offering is much used and appreciated. Freshservice newer Journey is very much liked by IT and business teams. Overall, Freshservice keeps adding new features, they had a recent newer feature rolled out in May 2026, which has added much value to the IT Service delivery. We admire that they keep innovating Freshservice not only for IT, but for Business teams as well. Pros Freshservice always innovate their ITSM core solution offering. Their Freddy AI offering is helping agents in analysing the long jumbled queries/issues reported by requesters. The out-of-box capabilities of Frshservice such as Orchestration, workflows are much loved by everyone, they are easy to understand and make use of. Not only the IT team, but Business teams such as ‘People & Culture’, ‘Payroll’ adore the workflows. Making an agent group restricted is much loved by ‘Finance’, ‘Payroll’, ‘People & Culture’, as the restricted feature ensures tickets from these departments are only visible to the selected teams. Cons Nothing at all. Freshservice has a robust roadmap, they take non-attended features in the product future roadmap and do update their clients when the feature is rolled out. Nothing to dislike about Freshservice Switched from [ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/179501/ManageEngine-Service-Desk-Plus/) ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is not easy to configure, such as for each and every requirement, we had to write scripts.

Systems Analyst Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful and User-Friendly ITSM with Strong Automation but Pricing Limits" March 25, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience has been very positive. It’s a reliable ITSM tool that helps streamline operations and improve response times. With proper setup, it becomes a powerful platform, though it does require some effort to fully optimize workflows. Once configured well, it significantly improves team efficiency, visibility, and service quality across IT operations. Pros Freshservice is very intuitive and easy to set up, even for complex IT workflows. Automation features save a lot of time, especially for repetitive tasks, and the UI is clean and user-friendly. Integrations and customization options make it flexible for different team needs. The onboarding process is smooth, and documentation is helpful, making it easier for IT teams to quickly adopt and scale usage. Cons Some advanced features feel limited unless you move to higher-tier plans. Reporting can be a bit rigid, and API/search behavior sometimes requires workarounds. Also, certain configurations are not very transparent, which can slow down troubleshooting. Pricing can increase quickly as you scale, and some features that feel essential are locked behind premium tiers. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Reason for choosing Freshservice We chose Freshservice over Salesforce because it’s purpose-built for IT service management, making it faster to implement and easier for IT teams to use daily. Freshservice offers out-of-the-box ITIL features, strong automation, and a more intuitive interface, while Salesforce typically requires heavy customization to achieve similar ITSM functionality. Overall, Freshservice provided better value, quicker deployment, and lower operational complexity for our needs. Review Source DV David V. Customer Supoort Manager Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Outstanding Tickets management tool" March 12, 2026 5.0 After working more than a year with Freshservice the overall experience has been amazing, it's a tool that can be deployed to work within the organization and also outside to manage internal an external tickets. Pros It's a tool easy to work with, deploy and customize, manage tickets became an easy task and the time spent filling fields was reduced. Cons The only thing I dislike is that depending on the license tier, it may be very limited on AI usage, API usage and a couple more features that are only available in higher tiers, that's an issue that may me improved Alternatives considered [Freshdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/124981/Freshdesk/) Reason for choosing Freshservice it was cheaper and easier to work with Freshservice and at the same time, this tool works better with our ticketing management Switched from [JIRA Service Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/227102/JIRA-Service-Management/) It was very limited and difficult to reach a high maturity grade of service management because it was more likely intended to other projects and not what we were looking for Review Source HP Hardik P. Sr. Software Engineer Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, dependable helpdesk ticketing with solid automation" July 7, 2026 4.0 On the whole, it's been a dependable tool for handling helpdesk requests. Tickets move through the system smoothly, automation takes a lot of the repetitive work off the team's plate, and new agents pick it up fast. It's not without rough edges - reporting flexibility and mobile features could definitely be better - but for day-to-day ticket management it gets the job done well and hasn't given us major headaches. Pros The biggest plus for us has been how simple it is to manage day-to-day support tickets without a messy learning curve. The interface is clean, so agents can jump in and start working tickets without needing weeks of training. Automation has been a real time-saver too - auto-assigning tickets, sending reminders, escalating anything that's overdue, all without someone having to babysit it manually. The knowledge base feature has also cut down on repetitive tickets since users can often find answers themselves before raising a request. Whenever we've needed help, support has been quick to respond and actually useful, not just scripted replies. Cons Reporting is probably the weakest part. The built-in dashboards cover the basics fine, but if you want something more custom, it gets a bit fiddly and you often end up pulling the data out to work with it elsewhere. The mobile app is another area that needs work - some ticket actions that are easy on desktop just aren't there on mobile yet, which slows things down when you're away from your laptop. Pricing structure can also be a little confusing at first since it's not always obvious what's bundled into each plan. Review Source HM Harshil M. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Ticketing System Overall" July 17, 2026 5.0 It's been pretty solid, no major complaints. Things behave the way you'd expect - no random bugs, no tickets vanishing into some black hole, nothing weird like that. Setup was straightforward and it's stayed reliable since. SLA tracking and reporting both do what they're supposed to without being overcomplicated. My only real gripe is the customization ceiling, but that hasn't stopped it from being genuinely useful day to day. Would recommend it if you want something that just works without constant babysitting. Pros Ticket management, hands down. I've worked on systems before where half the job was just tracking down where a request even went, and this doesn't have that problem. Stuff gets routed properly, status updates make sense, and I'm not stuck writing custom scripts just to get basic things working the way they should out of the box. That alone saved a lot of headaches. Cons Customization's a bit limited, honestly. Not terrible, but if you want to shape things closer to how your team actually works instead of how the platform assumes you work, you'll hit walls. I've had to find workarounds a few times instead of just configuring what I wanted. Would be nice if there was more room to bend it. Review Source MS Mamta S. HR Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bridges HR and IT Requests Smoothly" July 20, 2026 5.0 It's made the coordination between HR and IT so much easier over the past year. Every time we onboard someone new, I raise a ticket for their ID, email, and system access, and I can see it move from "raised" to "in progress" to "done" without having to ping anyone directly. Same goes for exits - one request and account access gets handled cleanly. It's saved a lot of back-and-forth that used to eat up time during busy hiring periods. The lack of ready-made templates for repetitive requests is my only real complaint, but otherwise it's been a dependable part of how HR and IT work together now. Pros Even though I'm on the HR side, most of what I raise through this tool is IT-related - new employee ID creation, password resets, enabling or disabling accounts when someone joins or exits, that kind of thing. Ticket management makes this whole process so much smoother. I raise a request for a new joiner's ID and access, and I can actually track it instead of following up over email and hoping someone responds. Same with offboarding - disabling an account used to involve three different people; now it's just one ticket and I know exactly where it stands. Cons Customization is where I'd want more flexibility. A lot of our HR-to-IT requests follow a similar pattern every time - same fields, same info needed for a new employee setup - but there's no easy way to template that out fully. I end up filling in a lot of the same details manually each time, which feels avoidable. Review Source KS Khushali S. Sr. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid Ticket Tool" July 27, 2026 5.0 I've been using this for about 3 years now after dealing with a clunky legacy system. Overall, it’s been a massive upgrade for us. Ticket management is smoother, internal communication is cleaner, and customer support has been responsive whenever we had questions during the initial rollout. Definitely worth looking into if you want to streamline IT operations without overcomplicating things. Pros As a software engineer who has relied on this tool for the last 3 years, I can say setting it up didn't take weeks like our old system. The ticket queue is super clean, and our team actually likes using it because the interface isn't cluttered. Automation for routine requests saves us hours every week. Cons Some of the deeper reporting customization options take a while to figure out. Also, mobile notifications can be a bit spotty if you're on the go. Review Source PG Princy G. Social Media Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful ITSM Platform with Excellent Customer Support and Automation" June 1, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Freshservice has been very positive. The platform has helped improve service desk efficiency, reduce ticket resolution times, and enhance visibility across support operations. Its intuitive design allowed our team to adopt the system quickly, while automation features streamlined repetitive tasks and improved productivity. The platform delivers strong value for money by combining ticket management, asset management, workflow automation, reporting, and self-service capabilities into a single solution. Customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever assistance was required. Overall, Freshservice is a reliable, feature-rich IT service management platform that has made our support processes more organized, efficient, and scalable. Pros Freshservice offers an excellent balance between powerful functionality and ease of use. The ticket management system is intuitive, making it easy to track, prioritize, and resolve incidents efficiently. Workflow automation has significantly reduced manual effort, while the self-service portal and knowledge base help users find answers quickly. I also appreciate the customization options, detailed reporting, asset management capabilities, and the clean, modern interface that simplifies daily operations. Cons Although Freshservice provides extensive customization and advanced features, some configurations can require additional setup time and a learning curve for administrators. Creating highly customized reports may not be as straightforward for new users, and certain advanced features are available only in higher-tier plans. However, these limitations are relatively minor compared to the overall value the platform provides. Review Source HY Hemant Y.

Overall, it’s been a massive upgrade. Ticket management is smoother, internal communication is cleaner, and customer support has been responsive whenever we had questions during the rollout. Definitely worth looking into if you want to streamline IT operations without overcomplicating things. Pros I only joined this company about 7 months ago, and getting up to speed on this was surprisingly fast compared to the other tool we used at my last job. The ticket queue is super clean, and the team actually likes using it because the interface isn't cluttered. Automation for routine requests saves us hours every week. Cons Some of the deeper reporting customization options take a while to figure out. Also, mobile notifications can be a bit spotty if you're on the go. Review Source PP Priyanka P.

Nothing's fallen through the cracks, requests move at a decent pace, and I've never had to wonder where something stands - it's all right there. The customization limits are a minor sore spot, but they haven't gotten in the way of things running well day to day. A year of steady use has been enough to convince me it's a keeper. Pros One year in, and what's impressed me most is how little time I spend figuring things out versus actually getting work done. Tickets land where they should, updates come through without me having to go looking for them, and the whole flow feels intentional rather than something bolted together. Compared to the manual mess we had before, it's been a genuinely welcome change Cons Customization is where it falls a bit short for me. There are specific ways I'd like certain requests structured, and more often than not I end up adjusting to whatever the default setup allows rather than the platform adjusting to what I actually need. It's workable, just not as tailored as I'd hoped. Review Source MB Maki B.

It is particularly effective for organizations seeking a balance between ease of use and functional depth, though it has room to evolve in analytics and enterprise-grade flexibility. Pros With over a decade in ITSM, I appreciate Freshservice’s balance between usability and capability. The platform is intuitive, reducing onboarding time, while still offering solid automation for ticketing, SLAs, and workflows. It drives measurable efficiency gains and supports effective team collaboration through clear ownership and internal communication. Integrations, particularly within the Microsoft ecosystem, are straightforward and enable cohesive, centralized operations. Cons From a more advanced perspective, the platform shows limitations in reporting depth and customization. Complex workflow configurations can become unintuitive and require workarounds. Support responsiveness is inconsistent for higher-complexity cases. Additionally, occasional UI glitches and integration dependencies on higher-tier plans can impact overall scalability.

It provides a solid IT service management platform that helps streamline ticket handling, automate repetitive tasks, and improve service delivery. While there are some limitations in customization and integrations, it is still a reliable and efficient tool for managing IT support and service requests. Pros Freshservice is very intuitive and easy to use compared to many other ITSM platforms. The ticketing system is well organized, automation workflows are powerful, and the service catalog makes it simple for users to request services. Integration with other tools and APIs is also very helpful for automating IT processes and connecting with identity or asset management systems. Reporting and analytics provide good visibility into support operations. Cons Some advanced configurations can be complicated and require workarounds. Certain integrations and automation features could be more flexible, especially when connecting with external systems. Pricing can also increase quickly when additional modules or agents are required. Review Source TP Tanay P.

Customer support has always been solid when we've needed help, and it keeps our engineering workflow moving without unnecessary friction. Pros Been using this for the last 3 years as a software engineer, and it's honestly night and day compared to the clunky legacy systems I've dealt with elsewhere. The ticket queues are clean, it doesn't take forever to onboard, and the built-in automations save our team a ton of manual overhead. Cons Reporting can be a bit rigid when you want to build deeply custom metrics, and mobile push notifications occasionally lag behind.
